How’s everyone’s team looking for next year? Barring any injuries, our team looks very strong and stacked. I know we could make one more signing and have more departures but the team picks itself. 1. Field 2. Miski 3. Keighran 4. Wardle 5. Marshall 6. French 7. Smith 8. Havard 9. Leeming 10. Byrne 11. Walters 12. Farrell 13. Smithies
14. O’Neill 15. Ellis 16. Dupree 17. Cooper/Mago
Isa, Nsemba, Hill, Shorrocks, Chan, Eckersley, Forber, Astley, Makin, Douglas all backing up. Still question marks over Thornley, Cust and Hampshire.

Very happy with that in most respects, but depth in the backs is a real worry unless they think the likes of Eckersley, Douglas etc. are ready for a decent amount of first team action.
If we don't keep Hampshire, I think we'll sign somebody as cover in the backs, much in the way we did with Hampshire himself or Thornley. I just don't see the club going in to a full season with only kids yet to debut as back up.

Does Leeming start or O'Neill? Personally, I think O'Neill is the better player and i am struggling to understand the Leeming signing, especially on a 4 year deal

Suppose we need to see how it pans out
Hopefully them switching mid game will kill off teams with Leemings running game. Hopefully give the our lads extra bit of energy as well. I imagine Peet had a discussion with him and outlined what he wanted from him

I kinda agree. It does seem a bit much. But like you say, we'll have to wait and see.

Leeming is a decent player on his day but I'm also puzzled by the signing. Forber has massive potential and this could block his progress.O'Neil is fast becoming a key player for us too so don't see the need for Leeming on a 4 year deal.

Next season unless something changes we will have 4 hookers in a squad of say 36 which seems ott to me. I’m with you regarding Forber and my worry is that when his contract expires he will be off and more than likely to Saints. People keep suggesting that Powell is off to Leeds or Leigh but I think that he contracted up to 2024? I just don’t understand the Leeming situation but maybe there are announcements still to be made about our hooking roster or possibly further exits from the squad e.g Smithies?
